Singapore metal band Sangriento release debut EP

After a period of intense growth, Singapore’s Sangriento emerges with our debut EP “Ghosts of the Past”! This album captures the pulsating sound of Sangriento, and features six original songs.

Three years in the making, this EP explores the tensions in our pasts that shape us today. It begins with a neo-classical meets metal number, Inner Conflict, which is a snapshot of the crazed cacophony of voices in our heads. Ghosts of 212 is inspired by a true ghost story that happened to the band, as we playfully reimagine the thoughts of this haunting spirit. Fight takes a melancholic turn, and this song is dedicated to all who has ever struggled in darkness. Memory is an ironic combination of gleeful melody with irate lyrics – a contradiction not uncommon in precarious relationships. The album pushes to a climatic finish with Wanderer featuring a memorable chorus that everyone can sing along to. In the final track, we come full circle with Circus, as it represents the starting point of our songwriting adventure.

“Ghosts of the Past” is now available on iTunes (https://itun.es/sg/wHOydb) and Bandcamp (https://sangriento.bandcamp.com/album/ghosts-of-the-past).
